NATO general: prepare for war with Russia

''The background was that President Putin declared in the autumn of 2021, and actually sent a draft treaty that they wanted NATO to sign, to promise no more NATO enlargement. That was what he sent us. And was a pre-condition for not invade Ukraine. Of course we didn’t sign that.

The opposite happened. He wanted us to sign that promise, never to enlarge NATO. He wanted us to remove our military infrastructure in all Allies that have joined NATO since 1997, meaning half of NATO, all the Central and Eastern Europe, we should remove NATO from that part of our Alliance, introducing some kind of B, or second class membership. We rejected that.

So he went to war to prevent NATO, more NATO, close to his borders.''  - NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg

 

Stoltenberg boasts that Putin invaded Ukraine to prevent NATO expansion and got the exact opposite by Sweden and Finland applying to join NATO. His remarks and admission to provocation would have been labelled Russian propaganda and false by Western imperial 'fact checkers' had it not been said by himself - the head general of NATO.

He is merely stating a well-known fact: powerful nations, including the United States, do not allow foreign military threats to accumulate on their borders. This is why many analysts and officials in the West had warned for years that NATO's actions could lead to conflict. Yet, when the war did break out, it was often portrayed in the media as an "unprovoked invasion," despite these earlier warnings. 

History always seems to start the very date the Western powers feel transgressed against. The same way for Israel the current conflict started on October 7th and 'just occurred' in a vacuum. They always omit the escalatory amount of provocations that lead to the eruption of war. Then gaslight the other side for being war mongering when their own military industrial complex and vested imperial interests have been behind the scenes churning the gears of war through think tanks, propaganda and contracts.

Bingo!
But the war broke out in 2014, actually. Yet for the same reason still.
